, impartiality. rosen tall was termed to keep the paper straight. he once said it was personality to keep a firm right handotiller because the news room would naturally drift to the left. he believed t there should be no editorial needles in which reporters used their personal political opinions to go after anybody. he believed there should be no pejorative quotes that were either unattributed or made somebody look bad that weren't fair. rosenthal was very patriotic and was extremely wary of the counterculture and wary of conflicts of interest in his reporters. when he learned a woman he hired had once had an afire with a politician in philadelphia -- it may have been the mayor -- he famously fired her and said and i'll pay deference to the fact this is a catholic institution -- i don't care if my reporters bleep the elephants but if they do they can't cover the circus. so least fast-forward a bit. it's 2003. in the wake of the jason blair majorrerrism scandal, tv comedians are having a field day. david lettererman said, all the news that's fit to print? they have a new one. the new slogan is,

the word out there, had a platform. i started tweeting and trent rosener from nine inch nails was reading my twitter page and his management get in contact with me, saying we want to help fund raise for you. we raised almost $1 million for my brother's heart transplant. and even after we had all that money, we still couldn't get hip into a hospital. ucla medical center said you still need supplemental insurance to make sure he can pay for the anti rejection drugs even after he has a transplant. people don't understand how difficult it is to maneuver the system. and unfortunately, they never do until it's too late. so for the republicans out there who are saying that this system, this status quo works, i don't know what planet they're living on. but i have to say, after my brother passed away, i went to washington, and i talked to members on both sides of the aisle to help craft this legislation, to make sure that they all knew about my brother's story. and every time i would walk into one of those offices, a republican office, there were so many lies out there. you know, there are just --
